The real story is that Obama, Suckerburg, and other leftists are making the kid a "Muslim" hero....once again framing an incident that makes the police look like fools and the Muslims get the media coverage as victims...

A high school student in Texas whose hobby is inventing thought he had a great idea for a project: to build his own clock.
The effort landed him in handcuffs and juvenile detention on Monday, accused of making a hoax bomb.
The detention of Ahmed Mohamed, 14, a student at MacArthur High School in Irving, Tex., near Dallas, generated a national furor even after the police said on Wednesday that he would not be charged as questions arose about whether he was targeted because of his religion.
The episode even came to the attention of the nation’s top leaders, who deplored the treatment of the young man. “Cool clock, Ahmed,” President Obama said on Twitter. “Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.”
Mr. Obama’s staff went on to invite Ahmed to come to the White House for Astronomy Night, to be held Oct. 19, an event bringing together scientists, engineers, astronauts, teachers and students to spend an evening stargazing from the South Lawn. The president’s spokesman held out the encounter as a case study in unreasoned prejudice in an era when the country is fighting Islamic terrorism at home and in the Middle East.

Shortly before a news conference Wednesday outside his home in Irving, Ahmed — still wearing the NASA shirt he wore when he was detained — waved to a thick crowd of reporters from the doorway as his family brought out pizzas and drinks for the media. Ahmed said he was considering transferring out of MacArthur High and had indeed accepted President Obama’s invitation

Those didn’t look like bombs.
Neither does this one.
Sorry, this kids “clock” wasn’t clock.

YOU are very wrong.
Show me a “Clock” like what this kid did.
What this kid did was testing the waters.
Yes it did.
Picture of it in Post 51!

Of course it was a set-up. And the kid stone walling when asked about the clock was also.
The media helps the cover up. They first reported that the kid “built a clock” and then put it in a pencil case. The little creep never built a clock. He placed an existing clock in a container frequently used by jihadists. He did it intentionally.
The Muzzies must find it amusing that supposedly informed conservatives would rather blame female teachers. There are a lot of men on this site who have bigger issues with women than with activist Muslims.
That’s a clock. Maybe you need to take apart some more clocks. That’s how the guts of your basic Target/ WalMart $20 digital alarm clock look when you take it out of the shell. You probably have one in your house, bust out with the Philips-head and take a look.

What this kid did was kit-bash a basic run of the mill clock into a basic run of the mill pencil case. Not a big deal.
No it doesn’t. Unless you watch way too many bad movies.
Post 51 is not a clock.
It looks like a suitcase bomb.
THAT is what the kid plugged in during English class.
Where it began making noise, and which he lied to the teacher about, hedged, hemmed, hawed, and acted cagey which generated the thought it might be a bomb.
Columbine ring any bells?
Harris and his boyfriend reportedly had wanted to bring bombs to school as well.
This is not something to excuse away as YOU are trying to do.
This was a muslim testing the waters.
Schools are notorious soft targets.
And that does not in any way resemble a clock.
That you even claim that makes me highly suspicious of your motivations.
I work security and have worn the uniform of a solider.

Hey Sarge, check out the picture of Ahmed’s little “clock” in post 51 and tell me what it looks like to you.
Discostu here insists it looks like a clock.
The real story is that Obama, Suckerburg, and other leftists are making the kid a "Muslim" hero....once again framing an incident that makes the police look like fools and the Muslims get the media coverage as victims...
Post 51 is a clock.
Columbine used pipe bombs.
This was a kid kit bashing a clock.
It looks EXACTLY like two clocks in my home right now similar to the one I linked to that I’ve disassembled to fix.
My motive is spreading truth and point out idiocy. The truth is it’s a clock and anybody that thinks otherwise is full of crap.
Again, disassemble your own clock, go ahead, look inside. You’ll see all the same stuff.
Doesn’t mean you know anything about anything. If you can look at what is clearly the guts of a standard cheap digital clock and think “bomb” you’re just plain wrong.
Calling others doesn’t change reality. It’s a clock. Standard issue cheap clock like most folks have in their homes. Have a little intellectual curiosity, look inside your appliances.
Post 51 is NOT a clock!
You have a “clock” in a metal locking suitcase that buzzes in not at all a clock fashion when plugged in?
You have a habit of having electronic devices that look like the suitcase bombs used by “Palestinian” terrorists back in the 80’s?
Claiming it is a clock when it does not look like one at all doesn’t change reality.
Calling a horse a giraffe doesn’t make it so.
That is your basic $20 cheap alarm clock. You probably have one in your own home, there’s a good chance it woke you up this morning. It’s an LCD screen, the circuit board that drives it, the circuit board that’s the actual clock part, capacitor to hold power during fluctuations, nine volt backup for longer outages, and a speaker.
Do people really never take apart stuff in their home anymore? Really folks. You should bother to see how the things in your own home work.
Undead Thread ping for stupidity too good NOT to share.
At the following links you will find images of the supposed “clock” little Ahmed was putting together, plugged in during English Class, then hedged, hemmed, and hawed to try and not answer what it was which sparked off the bomb scare, and looking at the pictures, it does not at all look like a clock.
It looks like a suitcase bomb minus the explodey bits.

Discostu thinks it looks like a clock and we are all horrible and mean to poor Ahmed.
So show him the love and those of us who wore the uniform explain to him what suitcase bombs are, look like, how they are made, and what the muslims repeatedly try to bring through airport security to see what we will find!
(Hint: wires, loose batteries, and bits of disassembled digital clocks.)
...”Really folks. You should bother to see how the things in your own home work”...
Well I don’t... so00.... if I had been a teacher I would have also reported this. And according to the policy of the school that was the right thing to do.
